Tour is your chance to shine!

The November weekends we've all been preparing for are almost here! Artwork made and priced, studio tidied up, customer payment system in place, packaging ready to go, QR code for visitor sign-in displayed, friendly look on face and you are ready to go!

 

QR code check-in and Tour-ist badges. Please display your green QR code poster near the entrance to your studio and encourage visitors to scan the code with their phone. If they are not already wearing a "Tour-ist" badge, please offer one to them.

 

This badge identifies them as a Tour participant to our Dine and Drink Sponsors, many of whom are offering specials on food and beverage during the tour. The specials are identified in the Bidcrest Tour web app. Regional Leaders are distributing badges.

 

If you are running low on badges, text Rebecca at 530-613-5985.

Tour Question: "How did you hear about the Tour?" This information is very helpful in choosing future marketing decisions and is a great conversation starter. Please keep tally marks when possible to report the data back!

 

Please note Clark's Corner, located at 5320 Front Street in Rocklin, will serve as an information hub the first weekend of the Tour. Click here to see additional pick up spots for Guides.

Do you have a favorite Restaurant?

There is still time for food and beverages establishments to join the Tour's Dine and Drink program. This gives them a spot on our mobile web app and encourages our Tour-ists to patronize them. Deadline to join is October 31. You may share this link with potential restaurants, wineries and ale houses https://placerartiststour.org/dine-and-drink/
